Toyota announced they will be building a new hybrid sedan, the Toyota Sai. The Sai will be the sister model of the Lexus HS 250h and will boast a more powerful engine than the Toyota Prius.

The hybrid Sai will come witha 2.4 liter engine, like the HS 250h, but the interior and exterior will be differentiated from the HS 250h. This despite being built on the same platform and using the same drivetrain.

This will be the second dedicated hybrid in the Toyota brand, and the third dedicated hybrid from Toyota and Lexus.

The Sai will go on sale on October 20 in Japan. It's unknown right now if the Sai, or a version of it, will come to the US. Pricing is also unknown right now.
